Lyrics
(Intro)
Yeah
Mmm
Hey yeah
Yeah
(Verse 1)
They counted me out, said I'd never be seen
Now I'm everything they said I couldn't be
Came from the struggle, pain on repeat
But I turned every scar into faith on my feet
Had to fight for my peace, no hand to hold
Built this life with a heart made of gold
Tears dried up, now I see why
God was pruning me so I could fly
(Pre-Chorus)
They don't know the nights I cried
They just see the wins online
But behind the smile I bled
And thanked the Lord for all of it
(Chorus)
Still I rise
Even when it rains
Still I shine
Through all the pain
I came broken, left restored
Had to lose myself to find the Lord
Still I rise
Stronger each time
Every fall just rewrote my life
They tried to dim my fire inside
But look at me now, still I rise
(Verse 2)
Every no... Every no just fueled my flame
I took losses that turned to gain
What was meant to bury me deep
Became the soil for my seed
I remember the dark, I remember the doubt
I remember being down, nobody around
Now I'm walking in rooms I prayed for
With a peace I don't have to fake no more
(Pre-Chorus)
See I'm proof, proof what faith can do
When the world turns its back on you
If God be for me I can't lose
I'm living the truth they said I'd never prove
(Chorus)
Still I rise
Even when it rains
Still I shine
Through all the pain
I came broken, left restored
Had to lose myself to find the Lord
Still I rise
Stronger each time
Every fall just rewrote my life
They tried to dim my fire inside
But look at me now...
Still I rise
(Bridge)
From foster homes to stages lit
From heartbreak to ownership
From tears to trophies, faith to fight
I turned my pain into my light
(Outro)
Still I rise
Every time I fall
Still I rise
I survived it all
Can't kill purpose, can't stop grace
I'm still standing, stronger faith
Still I rise
Won't apologize
For who I became through the fire
Yeah, yeah
Still I rise
Still I rise
